Okay you nerds definitely have a point on this one
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you can run LoL on Linux
Im still waiting on them deploying it. I have a windows installation that does not boot using uefi, and therefor can not run vanguard. So when they deploy it its finally bye bye league after 14 years haha
14 years
I’m so sorry…
Holly shit, after looking things up it’s even worse than I thought…
Playing Valorant will need to enable TPM 2.0 and secure boot under windows 11 OS, you have to check that your motherboard is support TPM 2.0 system. (NOTE: If your system unable to support TPM2. 0, the only way that you can play Valorant is change your windows to older version as windows 10.)
Damn, Riot effectively turning PC into console…
Yup!
There is a youtube video about how even with the “best” anti cheat valorant has a huge cheating community. They are using ardruinos and secondary pcs to ai recognise the other players and simulate a mouse input via usb. (this is the high end cheating with a high cost) and even simple anti recoil scripts are possible without extra hardware.
Great*
Depending on how you look at it, that is what he said
In German, “gross” = “great”
It’s not rolled out yet so currently still yes you can run n play it on Linux
I will never understand why so many people were just okay accepting all this invasive bullshit like Vanguard. There’s so many games I just can’t even consider because I refuse to implicitly tell game companies their unchecked behavior like this is acceptable.
These are fucking video games; there is no goddamn reason a glorified toy should have root or kernel-level access. It’s wild to me the amount people who will accept anything, no questions asked.
I’m sure Hell Divers is fun, but it ain’t worth it to me to find out.
I accept it if it means removing most cheaters from the game. Most people do.
Cheating sucks but a- people are still cheating in these games, b- there are just as effective anti-cheat strategies that don’t require invasive access, c- cheating in a literal GAME is not enough of a real world issue to sacrifice real world privacy
Yes, there are versions of WINE and Proton that are specific to running LoL, but it’s still somewhat of a headache to get running.
And then the headache of having LoL on your computer/life.
It’s literally one click on Lutris.
Might be one click to install it, but it doesn’t immediately start working after that, at least according to what I’ve seen. WINE and Proton work well in general, but I’ve seen problems when it comes to LoL specifically.
Not in my experience. Some patch are easier than other I guess.
Brb gonna make a commit to core to break LoL.
Used to be able to before vanguard. When I used SolusOS as my main OS it used to run better than on windows… Apart from the client but that didn’t matter too much
Supposedly there is a way using a macOS emulator, since Vanguard hasn’t been ported to macOS yet
Which I believe doesn’t work on all GPUs.
Crap games apart (LOL is a good name for it), the only reason because Windows is better for games is that most games in the market are Windows only, no other reasons. But this is currently changing with more and more games also for Linux. Worst gaming platform is still Apple.
Anyway, at least
Also shout out to valve for making more windows games run on linux via proton
If I ever get off my ass and make that game I am going to rub my nipples and respond every time a mac user sends in a support ticket asking why their game isn’t working with “because it’s a mac”
Oh they already activated Vanguard for League of Legends? Because before that it could run under linux.
I really wanna switch to Linux so bad because of windows 10 support is ending soon and windows 11 suck ass I especially hate chatgpt and edge and boring desktop environment and sloppy navigation around the os and inconsistent design and everything else really, the only reason I use computer is games and a bit of documents editing but I lose half of my fps when I played on Linux which is a big deal when all I have is a potato laptop, hopefully by the time windows 10 ended support gaming on Linux will be at least 80% of the windows performance

You might be using the wrong driver or something. Usually Linux has at least comparable framerates to Windows, if not faster.
No it’s not, I have low end Ryzen apu I used both AMD pro and amdgpu driver and I still lose 40-60% of the performance
What distro were you using? This sounds like a possible Wayland issue
It’s Endeavour OS
Usually Linux has at least comparable framerates to Windows, if not faster.
CS2 beg to differ.
Trying not to be one of those “but did you try” replies, but personally, I would run Fedora xfce spin to see if anything changes.
Cutting edge kernel modules + minimal X11 DE will rule out stupidity from Wayland and make it easier to try some different settings.
AMD is supposed to work out of box, but I’ve heard there are some quirks with certain GPUs in which you may need to set some kernel flags.
Ex: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-install-amd-graphics-driver-on-fedora-36/74052/5
Damn they’re ending support next year: October 14, 2025. I thought it would continue a few more years.
windows 11 suck ass I especially hate chatgpt
🤔
The game runs just fine. Vanguard is what is preventing it.
Either way GNU/Linux wins.
I remember watching Arcane and then trying the lol mobile game, DO NOT PLAY LOL IF YOU ALREADY DON’T.
Do play Legends of Runeterra. It’s a charming, friendly and easy to pickup collectible card game set in the world of LoL with ZERO abusive practices. Enjoy PvP/Ranked ladder while you can, because the lack of dark patterns means it made less money than they expected, so some features were shelved and more things may be removed in the future.
especially don’t play if you do!
i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.
how do people actually play this?
i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.
it’s just so… stale
I’m not sure whats worse. Lemmy or Reddit.
The League of Legends community on Reddit is much larger.
Lemmy is better
Check mate, Agnostics!!!
There are times I’d go with Reddit (or at least pre-exodus Reddit; I haven’t been back there much since the APIpocalypse,) particularly when politics are discussed, but posts like this show where Lemmy shines.
A large portion of Lemmy users migrated from reddit. They’re both going to be similarly cancerous.
There is a selection bias in who chooses to migrate, so this isn’t necessarily true
Yes
Lemmy is. It’s average user is just as worthless, but there are fewer niche communities.

League is cancer. This meme is accurate.
Anyway, almost the only game I play in spare times since years, is The Dark Mod, it’s free and works fine in Linux, Windows and even in Mac (using PlayonMac).
This looks cool as hell. Thanks for sharing
It is, without a doubt one of the best free games you can find, apart with a friendly community for the support and a complete Wiki with step by step tutorials for creating own missions. A game to enjoy for many years. Walkthroughs of all missions in YT in the case if you get stuck in a mission.
OpenBSD:
- does not run systemd
Conclusion: OpenBSD wins
My pocket calculator: does not run anything
Conclusion: my pocket calculator wins. Always
It runs calculations. Abacus wins again
Yes, this totally wins:
5318008
Wasn’t a big reason some people don’t like systemd because it didn’t run on FreeBSD?
OpenBSD loses because it’s permissively-licensed instead of copyleft.
I guess you use blob-free Linux-libre then?

Does not have AI powered shit by default either which is another huge plus.
Jesus Christ being painted in the sand on a beach.
hwat
Neither does most installations of windows
The Copilot integration they recently pushed to 11 says otherwise. They’re going hard on AI moving forward.
I once visited a friend’s house and when I saw their computer’s desktop I dragged LoL to the trash bin and they didn’t even try to stop me.
Linux>Windows Dota>LoL Conclusion: Linux+Dota=GG
What about runs League of Legends in its Windows VM
